Everything’s Perfect Except… There Will Never Be Another Dolly

We lost a legend. ❤️

This week, Autumn and Donald celebrate Dolly Parton. They celebrate her humor, her confidence, her generosity, her music, and the life lessons she left behind.

Autumn and Donald dive into the stories that made them love her even more: Dolly’s Imagination Library, her thoughts on marriage and motherhood, that unforgettable Barbara Walters interview, and yes... the time Dolly entered a Dolly Parton drag lookalike contest and LOST😂

Plus, before the Dolly conversation begins: Good Mood Brew, Blue Zones, Sardinia, goat herders, and Autumn’s very reasonable request that someone simply find her a man.

By the end of this episode, Autumn and Donald have adopted a new life philosophy: WWDD — What Would Dolly Do? ❤️
